Analytics site Pro Football Focus released its grades from Sunday's Week 2 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets. The road-team Niners routed the home-team Jets 31-13 in a game that featured several injuries.
One of those injuries was to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who did not return to the field after halftime and was later ruled "out" with a high-ankle sprain. Before the injury, Garoppolo played well, completing 87.5 percent of his passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and a passer rating of 140.4.
Garoppolo's 90.2 overall grade from Pro Football Focus was the second-highest from the game.
The highest overall grade from the Week 2 matchup went to tight end Jordan Reed, who saw more action due to George Kittle being out with a knee injury. Reed's 92. 1 overall grade was the best from the game.
Reed finished the game with seven receptions for 50 yards on eight targets and hauled in both of Garoppolo's scores.
The highest-graded Jets player was quarterback Sam Darnold, who earned an 86.2 mark.
Below were the five highest-graded 49ers players on offense against the Jets.
Jordan Reed, TE, 92.1

Jerick McKinnon, RB, 87.4
Raheem Mostert, RB, 83.5
Kendrick Bourne, WR, 77.3
